1
Yon's my Privateer
2
See how trim she lies
3
To every man a lucky hand
4
And to every man a prize
5
I live to ride the Ocean
6
The mighty world around
7
To take a little plunder
8
And to hear the cannon sound
9
To lay with pretty women
10
To drink Madeira wine
11
To hear the roller's thunder
12
On a shore that isn't mine
13
Privateering, we will go
14
Privateering, Yoh! oh! ho!
15
Privateering, we will go
16
Yeah! oh! oh! ho!
17
The people on your Man 'o war
18
Are treated worse than scum
19
I'm no flogging Captain
20
My God I've sailed with some
21
Come with me to Barbary
22
We'll ply there up and down
23
Not quite exactly
24
In the service of the Crown
25
To lay with pretty women
26
To drink Madeira wine
27
To hear the roller's thunder
28
On a shore that isn't mine
29
Privateering, we will go
30
Privateering, Yoh! oh! ho!
31
Privateering, we will go
32
Yeah! oh! oh! ho!
33
Look here there's my Privateer
34
She's small but she can sting
35
Licensed to take prizes
36
With a letter from the King
37
I love the streets and taverns
38
Of a pretty foreign town
39
Tip my hat to the dark eyed ladies
40
As we sally up and down
41
To lay with pretty women
42
To drink Madeira wine
43
To hear the roller's thunder
44
On a shore that isn't mine
45
Privateering, we will go
46
Privateering, Yoh! oh! ho!
47
Privateering, we will go
48
Yeah! oh! oh! ho!
49
Britannia needs her Privateers
50
Each time she goes to war
51
Death to all her enemies
52
No prizes matter more
53
Come with me to Barbary
54
We'll ply there up and down
55
Not quite exactly
56
In the service of the Crown
57
I lay with pretty women
58
To drink Madeira wine
59
To hear the roller's thunder
60
On a shore that isn't mine
61
Privateering, we will go
62
Privateering, Yoh! oh! ho!
63
Privateering, we will go
64
Yeah! oh! oh! ho!
